Journey To Platinum - Call of Duty: Black Ops [Part 1 ~ Single Player Trophies]

I'll be honest, when I first played the campaign for Black Ops, I found it pretty boring. I don't know if it was because the plotline just didn't interest me or if it was because the previous CoD title was Modern Warfare 2, which was pretty high octane. As you'll know by now, I always read the trophy list after completing a game, just to see what the demands are for the platinum trophy and even though I thought Black Ops was doable, I just didn't have the will power to go for it at the time. Fast forward a few years and I'm in the mood to clean up my virtual trophy cabinet, so I figure it was time to finally put this trophy list to bed. As I mentioned, I didn't think the trophy list would be too demanding and having now earned my platinum trophy, I think that was a fair initial assessment. There are more single player trophies than there are multiplayer trophies but depending on how lucky you get, the multiplayer trophies could end up taking you longer to complete [I'll explain more in that article].

Death to Dictators - Take down Castro with a headshot. 

I would’ve thought that everyone will do this during the mission; I mean after all there’s really no reason why you shouldn’t go for the headshot. It’s a slow-motion room breach and the best shot to take, is the one where you place a bullet in between his eyes. If you fail to get it first time, just come back after and try again using mission select.

Trailer Analysis - Uncharted 4: A Thief's End - Gameplay Demo PlayStation Experience 2014

Following on from last weeks Trailer Analysis of the Uncharted 4 teaser/reveal trailer, this week I've covered the exteneded gameplay demo, that was shown at the PlayStation Experience towards the end of 2014. As far as I know the footage is captured from a PS4 and the content is likely to have been taken directly from the campaign, so those adverse to spoilers, approach with caution.

Journey To Platinum - Medal of Honor: Warfighter [Part 2 ~ Multiplayer Trophies]

A lot of people, myself included, views the multiplayer in Medal of Honor as a cross between Call of Duty and Battlefield. Fortunately for me, I (mostly) enjoy both the aformentioned franchies, so stepping into Warfighters multiplayer didn't require much of an adjustment plus I also played the previous MoH game, so I had some previous experience to fall back on. My opinion on the multiplayer is split, on the one hand there were moments where I was genuinely having fun but then at other times, I was getting stupidly frustrated/annoyed by the lag, bugs and underpopulated servers. If you've completed the SP trophies and thought they were time consuming, you defintely won't be happy to see the MP trophy list. The time scale will vary depending on your skill level but you can easily expect to spend at least double the amount of time playing the MP, compared to how long you spent on SP. Bottom line is, most of the MP trophies are very grindy, so if you're not patient enough to get through them, I'd probably advise moving onto another game.

Journey To Platinum - Medal of Honor: Warfighter [Part 1 ~ Single Player Trophies]

If someone had said to me I'd eventually go on to plat Medal of Honor: Warfighter when I initially started playing the game, I'd have laughed in their face. But here we are, nearly a year after first loading up the disk, I'm now writing my second Journey To Platinum article on it! :O I'm not really sure why I decided to go back to the game, lord knows I've got enough un-played (and many un-opened) titles in my game library to get stuck into, I guess it's just in my nature to see things through to the end. I did play the previous MoH title and it was fairly enjoyable, so I decided to give the sequel a whirl. I think I prefere the SP in MoH than MoH:W but that isn't to say it was bad, it just wasn't as refreshing as the first, the multiplayer however I think is improved in MoH:W but I'll speak a bit more about that in the multiplayer trophies article. Anyway as SP trophies go, the ones in MoH:W are pretty hard, so if you're going for the platinum, you should be prepared for some considerable effort and numerous re-tries.
